What's a lemur? Here's one.

 

The animals are wondering were the two lemurs are. Two-headed giraffe thinks they might be up in the tree. The squirrels check in the tree. "There are no lemurs here", says squirrel.

 

"Have you seen the lemurs?"
"No", says duck. "There are no lemurs here."

"Hey, over here", says fish.
"I see a lemur."

But where could the other lemur be?
He's over here.

 

The wood was originally completely covered with newspaper collage. I cut and peeled off some of the newspaper around the animals, sun, trees, etc. It gives them a slightly three dimensional look. It's easiest to see around the sun.
